That's only one reason for tourism and is not a motivation we all share. That said, this is perhaps another externality of social media that we should seek to redress, alongside the concerns with privacy and manipulation.
Instagram doesn't really help anyone when it sends thousands of people to a landmark, so they can take photos of themselves in front of it.
